into the wild




"Two years he walks the earth. No phone, no pool, no pets, no cigarettes. Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause "the West is the best." And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual pilgrimage. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the Great White North. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild.
- Alexander Supertramp May 1992 "

- from the book, Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer

"when you think you have to want more than you need, until you have it all, you won't be free. ...when you have more than you think, you need more space. won't be the last, won't be the first. find my way, to where the sky meets the earth. on bended knee is no way to be free..."
